Plasmatronics Charge Controllers

The PL series of charge controllers give you the freedom to operate your solar electric system the way you want to. They offer complete control over the charge cycle, plus an unprecedented amount of useful information about current and past performance. PL regulators help to protect the system with a built-in low battery disconnect switch. In addition, the versatile event controller can switch power on or off according to criteria set by the user. This allows the PL to do extra tasks such as switching a light on at night or keeping a water tank full by operating a pump when needed. The user can select either Pulse Width Modulation or slow speed switching. Regulation can be done in both series and shunt modes. Other features include backup generator control and charging a second battery.

Adjustable: All settings are adjustable and are stored in a nonvolatile memory
Display: User-friendl alphanumeric LCD gives you words to explain the numbers.
Energy Metering: Shows daily charge and discharge amp-hours.
Three-Step Regulation: Boost, Absorption, and Float modes with an optional periodic Equalisation mode.. Can switch in series, shunt, or series + shunt modes.
History: Records charge and load amp hours, max and min battery voltages, and state of charge for the last 30 days. Remembers how much was really collected and used.
Generator Control: A sophisticated generator controller is included with four different modes of control available and a quiet time option.
Event Control: A versatile event controller allows the load to be turned on or off under a user-selected set of conditions. Can be used for lighting, pumping, frost control, etc.
Alarm: There is an adjustable low or high battery voltage alarm.
Second Battery: When the main battery is full, use the waste energy to charge an auxiliary battery. The PL supplies a signal to switch a relay to the second battery.
Remote Control: A computer can communicate with the PL using the PLI RS232 interface. Data can be downloaded and settings adjusted from far away.
Protection: Protected against short circuit, reverse flow, lightning. Low battery load disconnect function built-in. The current limit for overheat or over current. Conformal coating is applied to protect against corrosion.
External Shunts: Two external shunts can be connected using the DC isolated PLS adaptor.
